I support the pregnancy resource center. They help women by giving them a free pregnancy test. They help women in job-finding and other necessary training in order to make a life for them and their baby. They give women clothing, baby items, blankets, baby toys, etc. And it's all FREE!

www.team25.com the Shjon Podein Childrens Foundation Shjon is a retired NHL player who was on the 2001 Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche. He was also a member of the "3M" line in Philly. His foundation is helping to find a cure for Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT). It is a rare, inherited disease that affects the nervous system, immune system and other body systems. Shjon's foundation is supported throughout the NHL and also by the likes of Brad Paisley and Matt Damon. Playing in the annual golf tournament is the highlight of my year - just seeing all the kids affected by A-T out there having a great time puts a lot of things in perspective. I urge you to visit the SPCF site... www.team25.com and learn more...

I support the Salvation Army. My daddy used to talk about how the Red Cross had doughnuts and hot coffee, way back , but not where it was really needed. USO was alright - where it was safe, but the men from the Salvation Army, while they didn't fight, did their part of the war in their own way. He told about how they would belly crawl to the foxholes and trenches to deliver hot coffee, cigarettes, etc. He had seen some give his own life trying to help a soldier. I have never heard of the Red Cross helping anyone.

I regularly donate to the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). My husband is a military retiree and while he was stationed overseas, he was never overseas during a conflict. He wads very lucky. Some of the men and women who willingly sacrafice their time and energy to keep our country safe pay the ultimate price. But then there are those who have severe injuries to the head, neck, or back and end up paralyzed. This charity helps support these brave Soldiers, Marines, and Airmen by providing things like power wheelchairs, prosthetics, and financial support.

I support several charities; for animals, children. My biggest one that I personally work for is the March of Dimes. Every one of us was born a baby. You can't get around that. My own birth was very difficult and still has lasting effects. We need to ensure all babies are born full term and healthy and we need to remember that these children will be the leaders of our tomorrow. The MOD not only wants them brought into the world healthy but they support the NICUs, the nurses and doctors in the hospital with courses, research, Therapy units and children's hospitals and the Ronald McDonald homes nearby the hospitals for the families to stay at.

I have also donated time and money to the Front Range Center for Assault Prevention and the Child Assault Prevention (CAP) Project. It is a wonderful non-profit that educates adults and their children about bully assault, stranger abduction and sexual assault prevention. Their workshops teach preschool through high school children as well as caregivers and teachers/school staff!! I have also donated money to St. Jude's Children's Hospital because of the wonderful free services they give to children with life-threatening diseases and their families. We donate clothing, used items around our household that are still useful, food and money to local charities as well.

They are given beautiful habitats that fit they needs, there is a hospital on the property to give them excellent care and restoration. It is a no kill organization with a loving and caring staff plus volunteers to give these precious animals back their lives. The public can tour the grounds on a bus tour that is provided for a nominal fee. It is a spectacular place to visit and wonderful for the animals.

i support charities for animals because i love humanity but aniamls are helpless and arent able to ask for help or tell people they hurt or need someone to take care of them. there are so many animals who help humans like dogs for the blind or people with challenging disabilities and the police and fire dogs and animals that give to people who need comfort and unconditonal love, there are ones who help the farmers and animals who help with eggs and cheese and milk without having to be killed to help.they dont understand why humans try to hurt them or kill them. they are always there when everyone else desserts you ready to give you love no matter what you look like or how you talk or maybe not as smart as someone else always there if you are lonely and best of all they are wonderful listeners for anything at all you need to talk about and they dont hate you or dessert you because they dont like what you said or did, they accept everyone, why cant everyone accept them?

Wolf Park, Battle Ground, IN - Great job on Wolf Education, great outreach program, i.m.o. have a reasonable stance on wolfdogs compared to other Wolf conservation organizations. Orphan Animals, Bay City, MI - Run entirely through foster homes; the foster pets all receive lots of attention. Isabella CO Animal Control/H.A.T.S./MidMichigan Adopt-A-Pet , Mount Pleasant, MI - The best municipal animal shelter I have ever been to. Animals are socialized, well cared for, low-kill facility, pets are given lot more time to find homes than required by law, & adoption fee is VERY reasonable. Planned Parenthood - every child should come into this world loved by their parents. I'm pro QUALITY of life.

I support the animals because they cannot support themselves. The United Way does a lot of good work in our community. As does the Salvation Army.

I give of my time, my talents, and money to my church, I also donate blankets and other items that I have knitted to a local veteran's hospital and to a crisis pregnancy center. We donate unneeded items to the Idaho Youth Ranch, and the Ark (another used clothing/furnishing store). We donate to the Red Cross, and other charities if they are going door to door or we see them in public places - like the Red Cross bell ringers. We do this to support causes that we believe in and to help those who a are little more helpless than we are. We avoid giving to organizations that mail things to us - it feels too much like expensive junk mail when they are begging for money every month instead of using that money for their cause.

I support the Children's Make a Wish Foundation....After watching some children in my community suffer from life threatening illnesses, its nice to see them and their families enjoying a maybe one last holiday together, and to see a smile on their face.

I support the DAV...Disabled American Veterans simply because these men and women fought for all of us and our country but our country doesn't always take care of them, sadly.

We donate to local needs. Christmas gifts for needy, food for the local shelter, missions at our church and other youth charities that we have known. We have bought meals for others. Where we see the need,if we can provide we try to help out.

Avon Walk for Breat Cancer - we need to find a cure! I am doing one of the walks to raise as much as I can to help the research and support for those that can not afford it.

We give to a lot of things throughout the year. Whenever a store is selling the $1 things to raise money for health or children's causes, we buy them, we give to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society every year because my brother in law died of non hodgkins lymphoma, age 47, leaving behind his wife and young daughter, we give to the Idol gives back each year, relay for life, Susan Komen, Children's hospitals, local women's shelter and food kitchens. There are so many little ways to help even when you don't have much to give. Our local grocery stores sell

I steadily support NAMI (National Alliance for the mentally Ill), because bipolar disorder runs in our family. Besides this, every year I support an other additional organization: animal rescue (because I love animals), KPBS (unbiased public broadcasting), the university that my daughter attended (they gave her a scholarship), my alma mater (they gave me a scholarship), disaster relief (acquaintance suffered due to a local wildfire), our local ethnic club (I belong). I also donate books to inmates in the local prison.
